Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the additional treatment room would result in adverse effects on highway safety and the residential amenity of local residents, due to increased parking demand
  • The effect of the development on bats

What decided it

The modest increase in parking demand from one additional treatment room could be accommodated by existing on-street parking without detriment to highway safety or residential amenity, and the carport structure was highly unlikely to support bat roosts.
